Abstract
In this work, SEIR model for H1N1 human transmission in Brong Ahafo Region
of Ghana is formulated. The method of solution proves that the model possess
positive solution. The basic reproduction number and the stability analysis of the
disease free equilibrium and endemic states is carried out. The sensitivity analysis
and the herd immunity of the model is also established. Numerical simulation of
the model is carried out to show the results and represented graphically. The re-
sult indicates that by increasing the transmission rate , the disease will spread
but when the transmission rate is decreased the disease dies out. The results also
indicate that %0.6 of the populate in Brong Ahafo needs to be vaccinated to
control the disease in the region.
